Meaning
After reading its lyrics, it seems the inspiration behind this song may have been an argument the writer had, possibly with a girlfriend, about the importance of an oxford comma. I cite three pieces of evidence to support my claim: the line "know your boyfriend, unlike other guys;" the entirety of the second verse; and the use of the word "fuck" at the beginnig of the first and third verses. I say "third" and "second" verse cautiously only becuause of the ambiguity of the second verse: it shares the same candence as the chorus, but has different lyrics. Sorry, I digress. Back to my argument. I point out the line, "know your boyfriend, unlike other guys," only because it supports my "boyfriend-girlfriend argument" claim. Secondly, the entire second verse reads as if the writer is reacting to the cruel words of his girlfriend, who could have instigated the argument over the presence or the lack thereof of an oxford comma in the title or script of an English drama -- a claim supported by the lyrics at the end of the first verse. Lastly, the use of the word "fuck" reflects the anger the writer felt towards his girlfriend's pedantics. The rest of the song is a series of clever examples that the writer of Oxford Comma could have used to rebuke his gf's arguments. Thus, in essence, the song Oxford Comma may be a brilliantly composed rebuttle to a nagging gf's persistent cries over the use of an oxford comma in a British drama. Or it could be me reading too far into it, and my repressed disdain towards loudmouthed girls bubbling to the surface.
